lt;br /gt;BACK-OF-THE-BOOK SUMMARY: "Banished to the realm of dreams, the Night Terror stalks its victims as they sleep. By replacing anothers soul with its own, the demon can assume anyones body and wreak havoc in the real world. But the effect is short-lived. Human bodies soon break down under the tremendous stress of the transfer, and the Night Terror is forced to find a new body to inhabit. That is, until it discovers Buffys secret and imagines the Slayer would make an ideal-and permanent-host. . . ."

lt;br /gt;REVIEW
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Night Terrors will always hold a special place in my heart because its the first Buffy Choose-Your-Own-Adventure ("Stake Your Destiny") book Ive successfully completed on my first try. Indeed, one of the aspects that sets this book apart from most others in the series is the wide range of possible endings, ranging from complete success to mediocre survival to outright death.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;The core plot of the book is an attempt by a demon, the Night Terror, to take over the bodies of residents of Sunnydale by entering into their dreams. This leads to some really interesting and fun dream sequences with Buffy, and shows us examples of how White Hats like Giles, Joyce, and Angel would be like if evil (of course, this last one we know all too well).
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;The writing is smooth and the dialogue is appropriately quirky. In addition, crisp action scenes and a well-researched bad guy help keep the plot moving. Definitely one of the better Stake Your Destiny books.

Customer Review #2:
A fun Buffy book
This is a pretty good Buffy book. Not the best but not the worst. I enjoyed the story. A demon named Mare, the Night Terror, takes control of peoples bodies while theyre sleeping. After awhile their astrol cord will break and the persons body will go into a coma. My favorite story in this book is when the Mare takes of your, Buffys, body and she gets banished into the realm of dreams. Its cool to see what the the other characters are dreaming. The other major story in this book is when the Mare takes over Angels body. This brings out Angelus too. Ethan Rayne is also involved in part of this book. There is also zombies and a mummy. If you are a fan of Buffy then I think you should pick up this book. The Author did a great job keeping the characters true to the show aswell.
